A third-generation resident of West Coconut Grove, her academic and professional interests are rooted in preserving and amplifying the histories, cultures, and lived experiences of Black communities in South Florida and across the African diaspora.

As she begins her graduate studies at Florida International University, she will hold a Graduate Assistantship and serve as a Graduate Research Assistant with the Public Humanities Lab during the 2026–2027 academic year, continuing her commitment to research and public scholarship. Her scholarship examines issues of historical displacement, gentrification, and community resilience, topics she explored as a featured speaker during FAMU's Diaspora Dialogue series with her presentation, "$50 to Over Half a Million: Black Homeownership in Miami's Oldest Black Community (Coconut Grove)." Passionate about archival research and cultural preservation, Jasmine is also gaining hands-on experience as an intern at The Black Archives Historic Lyric Theater in Overtown, where she contributes to the preservation and interpretation of South Florida's Black history. Grounded in her deep connection to her community, Jasmine is committed to using history as a tool for education, advocacy, and social impact. Her work reflects a belief that preserving the past is essential to shaping a more informed and equitable future.
